Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a 1971 film featuring Pink Floyd performing six songs in the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. It was directed by Adrian Maben and recorded in the month of October with 24 tracks studio quality without a live audience.[1]

The performances of "Echoes", "A Saucerful of Secrets", and "One of These Days" were filmed from October 4, 1971 to October 7, 1971. The remaining songs were filmed in a Paris studio, along with additional front projection footage for insertion into the Pompeii performances.[2] The sequences in Paris were filmed in late 1971/early 1972, and can be distinguished by the absence of Richard Wright's beard. This version was released in theaters in September 1972 and is also included on the DVD edition as an extra feature. In August 1974, another version was released combining the original film with supposed recording sessions of The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. These sessions were actually staged for the film[citation needed], as the recording of the album had been completed when these sessions were filmed in January 1973 and the band was mixing the album at the time.

Release history

The original release, running for one hour, only featured the live footage. A second version had additional footage of the band as they recorded or pretended to record their album The Dark Side of the Moon, as well as interviews conducted off-camera by Maben. This version ran for 80 minutes. The Director's Cut is a 2003 DVD re-release running 92 minutes. In addition to the concert and interview footage, it includes computer-generated images of outer space and of Pompeii as well as then-recent footage of Abbey Road and the Apollo missions. The original "full screen" image has been chopped up in this version and is presented in "fake widescreen", although the original cut is presented on the DVD as an "added bonus".

Additional Information

  • The rap group The Beastie Boys made a music video for their song "Gratitude" that appears to be a homage to the film. In addition to copying its directorial style of slow horizontal tracking shots, the video shows the band's amplifiers labeled "Pink Floyd London" - just as Pink Floyd's amplifiers are labeled in the film. The video ends with a message that reads, "THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED AT POMPEII".
  • The video for the 2003 song "Minerva" by American rock band Deftones is similarly an homage to the Pompeii performances in the film.
  • During the song One of These Days, Nick Mason lost a drumstick but quickly retrieved another without missing a beat. During the outro of Echoes part 2 Nick can be seen breaking a stick, throwing it away and again retrieving a new one without missing a beat.
  • The Pompeii Stadium where the video was recorded can be clearly seen from above in aerial images of coordinates 40°45′04″N 14°29′41″E / 40.751166°N 14.494700°E

Paco De Lucia, John Mclaughlin & Al Di Meola: Mediterranean Sundance

marRicardo
READ THIS BEFORE POSTING COMMENTS!!! The actual footage from the historic recording. Only 1st 5 min of Mediterranean Sundance by Al Dimeola and Paco de Lucia. The rest is not the same as the album. I included just a minute or so of Paco's solo that shows the rest of the piece is different. WHY??? Because the orginal CD was edited and Spliced together from different performances (different nights). Perhaps Al's final run was fixed in the studio. This Vid reveals what was actually played. Paco's solo is not edited at all. But only up to the 5 min mark. The rest of the piece (I did not load it on purpose) that is played here is NOT what was on the CD. That was spliced in from a different night on the CD. You notice right on the decending chromatic run where it is different. The other difference no one noticed yet in the comments, is that this vid is both a hair slower, and quater tone lower than the CD version. In other words, the CD is speed up a bit. As you can see here, they are amazingly fast players of course! New CD available at: http://www.flamenco-teacher.com/storeitem?item=800106 Also check out my website: http://www.richardmarlow.com/

A beautiful rendition of the traditional tune Shady Grove played by Nick Ogawa on the cello and vocals.

In his words:
I love this song. It's a traditional folk/bluegrass song that's been handed down and evolved in various ways over time. There are tons of different versions out there. I originally learned it from a friend, who had learned it from the Jerry Garcia and David Grisman "Pizza Tapes."

Recently my version has been getting some radio play, which I'm really excited about! My album includes this song and is available on cdbaby.com here:
